Its the primaries over here and its peoples chance to choose who will run on the democratic ticket in the general election. You may not like the two party system or the lack of rank choice voting but this is peoples chance to determine who might take governement positions. I hope no one who throws out the democrats don’t do enough are voting in the primaries because otherwise they are the reason what we get with democrats is what it is. Primaries because its just one party pretty much doubles the value of ones vote and further since they get less turnout it at least doubles it again. So the vote effect is in excess of 3x at a minimum. Citizenship in the us has two repsonsibilities. Voting and jury duty. Both are important to democracy.

      Yes you can write it in but there is a caveat with write ins. If they are not officially declared then they do not count the write in. So someone who can’t get neough signatures to be listed can still fill out an application to be an official wirte in canidate but they won’t count any write ins that are not officially declared.
